        <h1>WiMax</h1>
        <p>WiMax (or IEEE 802.16) is a wireless communications standard designed for MANs to provide 30 to 40 Mbps with up to 1 Gbps for fixed stations.  A fixed WiMAX station can cover up to 30 miles where the Mobile WiMAX stations can broadcast up to 10 miles.  In comparing Wi-Fi to WiMAX, Wi-Fi is good for coffee shops and small home networks while WiMAX can cover several miles with one station. </p>
